<br><br>As a hobby I rescue old photos that have identification on them and attempt to find family to send them to. I have two photos from the Rodgers family. One is identified as Fred Rodgers &amp; it was taken in Morley, Mecosta County, Michigan. He's an adolescent/young teen &amp; has dark hair. He's dressed in a suit &amp; tie. It was taken probably in the early 1900's. <br><br>The other photo is identified as Mary Ann Rodgers - Grandma.. She's young &amp; wearing a high neck dress with padded shoulders-probably puffy upper sleeves. She was wearing earrings. The name of the photographer was J.H. Daniels, who after some research was found in Michigan: Belding (J. H. Daniels &amp; Company) PHOTOGRAPHERS ..1896-1897<br>Belding PHOTOGRAPHER ca 1898. Belding is in Ionia County. <br><br>If you are family &amp; would like to obtain these, please reply here &amp; also send me an email at: <a href="mailto://digginroots@yahoo.com">digginroots@yahoo.com</a> (that's 2 g's not 3.)

He's a blond with light eyes and dressed in a double breasted suit. His shirt has a high collar and he has some kind of a white/lighter color tie around his throat. He's in his late teens or early 20's. I was told that he was from Michigan and had a connection to the RODGERS family from Belding, Michigan and Morley, Michigan.

I am hoping that if I can find one of the women on the 1870 or 1880 census records, I may find them together.2014-02-26 03:25:21Z1finedinerhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2176/mb.ashxRe: Harry or Henry Mongoven in Ionia State Hospital in 1930 and 1940?http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2151.1.1.1/mb.ashx
As I suspected, "Harry" Mongoven, inmate at Ionia State Hospital, was my Henry James Mongoven. Henry was the father of Leo Vincent Mongoven, bodyguard of Bugs Moran of Chicago.<br><br>Henry's death certificate record is now available on FamilySearch.org., using "Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1952." The information is as follows:<br><br>Harry Mongovan<br>Death<br>18 Jan 1947<br>Berlin, Ionia, Michigan, United States<br>Male<br>85<br>Widowed<br>Birth date: 21 Jul 1861<br>Birth place: Illinois<br>Father: Dennis<br>Mother: Catherine Dorsey<br><br>My great-great-grandparents were Dennis Mongoven and Catherine Darcy (sometimes misspelled Dorsey). Henry had many problems in life. In February 1904, my great-grandfather, Northern Pacific conductor Steven Mongoven, was killed as he waited in their stalled train with his older brother, brakeman Henry James Mongoven, in a North Dakota blizzard. A rescue train, unaware of their exact position, plowed into the caboose where the brothers sat. Henry was badly injured. <br><br>After this, life spiraled downward for Henry. He separated from his wife, Kate Kelly, who took their two children, including his son, Leo.<br><br>I had lost track of Henry after the 1920 census...but in 2012 I became suspiscious of the man called "Harry Mongoven," born in New York, in the 1930 and 1940 census. A good researcher quickly realizes that no such person existed, according to all records. Now his death certificate proves that "Harry" was Henry. <br><br>Amazingly, Henry outlived his nine siblings by at least two decades. Life at Ionia must have settled his soul a bit. At least, I hope so. Rest in peace, Henry.<br><br>Sincerely, Your great-grandnephew,<br>Jan2013-05-02 13:57:12Zjanealogy50http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2151.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Harry or Henry Mongoven in Ionia State Hospital in 1930 and 1940?http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2151.1.1/mb.ashx
Thanks so much for the response. <br><br>What you neglected to post, however, is the 1930 census for the state hospital. In it is the inmate Harry Mongoven, age 68, b. NY, widower. This indicates the man was born circa 1862 - my Henry Mongoven was born 1861. <br><br>The 1940 census shows the same man, Harry Mongoven (in the same facility as of 1 April 1935, according to the census), age 58, b. NY, single. The age, I believe, is incorrect.<br><br>Any advanced search of Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org, using variant spellings of Mongoven, finds no evidence that a "Harry" (born between 1850 and 1870) Mongoven ever existed. That's why I'm convinced this is Henry James Mongoven. <br><br>My problem is that I don't know how to go about obtaining his hospital records, in the hope I can find out where and when he went. Did he go back to Iowa? Illinois? Did he die in the state hospital. The number 2150 is next to his name in the 1940 census. Since each of the inmates has a unique number, I assume that #2150 was his hospital number. Again, I appreciate any assistance.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Jan2013-04-21 22:04:13Zjanealogy50http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2151.1.1/mb.ashxGeorge Rowlader (1820-1887) OBituary requesthttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2171/mb.ashx

The name 'Narcissa Armstrong Dillinback' is written on the tag attached to the Cameo I received from my Grandmother. There are two other old fashioned type pins, one with a tag that says it belonged to Abbie Dillenback Smith, and one that belonged to Millie Cooley Reinsmith, Abbie's daugher. <br><br>This is the first time I am hearing the name Harris. So, Harris was her maiden name? I know very little about her, so not sure if Solomon was her second husband. I can find Solomon's christening record - the son of Jonas and Magdelena, but have found nothing on Narcissa.<br><br>The info you posted is great.

Chapman Brothers. Chicago, Illinois. 1891. Pages 417-419.<br><br>GEORGE W. AND ALVIRA (KING) ARMS.<br>GEORGE W. ARMS, living on section 25, Orange Township, Ionia County, was the first white male child born in the township, his father being Selah Arms, a native of Rutland County, Vt., born there in 1809, and his mother before marriage being Mariette Utter, a native of New York. The family originated in the north of England and Noah Arms, the father of Selah, a Vermonter, served bravely in the war of 1812. The father [Selah] of our subject was one of the early settlers of Michigan, coming here in 1834 when still quite a young man. He settled upon the farm now owned by our subject [George W], taking it up from the Government in 1836. He was the first pioneer in this township and in due time helped to organize it. He entered eighty acres of land all timbered, and bravely putting his last money into it looked to be his strong right hand for future wealth. Shortly after settling upon this land he married the mother of the subject of this sketch. Both of them were earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the affairs of which they took an active interest. He was a prominent man in the church, warmly promoting its interests and keeping open house for all the traveling brethren, and liberally supporting its finances. In all other ways he showed a corresponding liberality and was ever a warm and efficient friend to the unfortunate. His first home was a log shanty, but two years later he erected a more substantial log house. In 1852 or 1853 a frame house became the home and it was considered one of the very nicest in that section. Unfortunately it burned to the ground in 1865. He cleared off eighty acres of his land and put it under cultivation. Two years after marriage he had a serious illness which rendered one of his limbs stiff.<br><br>Mr. [Selah] Arms knew every man in this county and nearly all in Clinton County. The first frame barn in Orange Township was built by him nearly fifty years ago. He used to do coopering and made a large number of sap buckets. He was fairly successful in his farming operations notwithstanding a great deal of illness and other misfortunes. He died in 1865, his wife have preceded him in 1851. Three of their five children still survive--George W., James and Ruth (Mrs. Charles Hastings). He was a strong Jacksonian Democrat, was for twenty-two years Justice of the Peace, also for some time Supervisor of Orange Township and Superintendent of the Poor.<br><br>The subject of this sketch [George W] was born October 21, 1842. His education, after the district school, was taken at the Portland High School. Then he began for himself at seventeen years of age; when at that age the Civil War broke out and he enlisted in May, 1861, in Company E, Third Michigan Infantry. The regiment was organized at Grand Rapids and was ordered to Washington, D.C., where it was put in the Third Brigade under Col. Richardson. They were in the first battle of Bull Run in July, 1861. He received a slight wound at Blackburn's Ford. His brigade covered <br>the retreat from Bull Run, and at Arlington Heights they were camped about the residence of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Our subject helped build three of the forts in that locality.<br><br>In the spring of 1862 Mr. Arms went through the entire Peninsular campaign under Gen. George B. McClellan and passed through ten battles without a scratch. Under Gen. Pope he took part in the second battle of Bull Run and here received the most serious wound which he experienced. August 29, while he was loading his gun a minie ball struck his right leg and passed through it just above his heel, entering his left ankle. He crawled upon his hands and knees a mile and a half to an ambulance, in which he rode two miles to the field hospital. He lay there a day and a night then traveled ten miles in the ambulance to a railroad track and lay beside it for two days; then on a flat car he was transported to Washington, D. C. From the station at Washington he was put into an omnibus and lying on the floor of it was rattled over the cobble stones to Georgetown Hospital. Great difficulty was experienced in locating and extracting the ball. Amputation was deferred from day to day hoping against hope that the limb might be saved. Fifteen days after his arrival it was finally decided that it could no longer be postponed and the left leg was amputated below the knee. He remained a year in the hospital and received his honorable discharge in August, 1863.<br><br>Upon his return home George Arms went to school for a while and in 1865 he went to work upon the home farm where he has since lived excepting one year which he passed at Portland. He has eighty acres of land, all of it improved. He built his present residence three years ago at a cost of $2,600 besides his own labor. He does active work upon his farm, carrying on mixed farming. He has Short-horn cattle, also some fine specimens of horses both for draft and roadsters. He has one of the finest Short-horn herds registered in Ionia County. He began his herd in 1882 with "Lady Thornapple," No. 20. She is recorded in volume 26, page 491. She was of "Young Mary" family, tracing back to "Young Mary" by "Jupiter" No. 21,070. He has nine of this grade of cattle, including "Lady Thornapple" and her descendants. At the head of his present herd in "Gladstone" No. 86,708, bred on the farm of the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing. He is a Victoria Dutchess record in volume 33, page 161 of the American Short-horn Herd Book; calved May 25, 1887; is of red color. His dam's sire was twenty-third "Duke of Airdrie," who was valued at $10,000 and the most noted one ever owned in Michigan. "Gladstone" was sired by "Fennel, Duke 2d" of Sideview, Ky. He has eight distinct Duke top crosses; he took his first premium at the Ionia Fair in the fall of 1890.<br><br>On the 5th of October, 1867, the marriage was solemnized between George W. Arms and Miss Alvira King, a daughter of Platt B. and Diantha (Beals) King, both natives of the Empire State who removed from there to Ohio about 1833. Mr. King was one of the pioneer farmers of the Western Reserve, and made a permanent home there, where he died sixteen years ago. His wife still survives him and now at the age of eighty-five years lives at Oberlin, Ohio, with one of her daughters. Four of the six children are now living: Harriet, Mrs. Avery; Abiah, Mrs. Whitney; Mary, Mrs. Whitney; and Mrs. Arms. The wife [Alvira King] of our subject was born June 22, 1845, in Ohio; she received a good education, completing her school days at Oberlin College. She taught school previous to her marriage. Her parents were close communion Baptists and her father held responsible positions in the church. In politics he was a strong Republican and was an earnest promoter of the Abolition movement. To Mr. and Mrs. Arms have been born two children: Frank C., born December 21, 1868; he has a good education, having completed his studies at Oberlin College and is now an artist at Portland. Clara M., born October 1, 1875, is at present a student in the Portland High School. <br><br>Mr. Arms is a charter member of the Grand Army Post at Lyons. For many years he has been a member of the School Board. He has been frequently elected to township offices, but never qualifies; he is a Democrat in politics. He now has two hundred trees on his place and will set out six hundred more this spring; he purposes to have one thousand. He is the only person now living in this district who was a pupil in the first school organized here. Forty-six years ago when his father was taken down with the fever there were no doctors here. His wife left with the neighbors her two babies and putting her husband in a one-horse wagon upon a bed took him to Harrisville, Medina County, Ohio, for treatment. Our subject [George W] was one of the babies whom this brave mother left in the kind care of benevolent neighbors.”<br><br> <br><br>Ruth Arms -<br>Birth 25 Mar 1848 in Portland, Ionia, Michigan, USA <br> Death Jul 23 1904 in Battle Creek, Calhoun, Michigan<br><br>death record -<br>Name: Ruth Hastings <br> Gender: Female <br> Burial Date: <br> Burial Place: <br> Death Date: 23 Jul 1904 <br> Death Place: Battle Creek, Calhoun, Michigan <br> Age: 56 <br> Birth Date: 1848 <br> Birthplace: Michigan <br> Occupation: Housekpr. <br> Race: White <br> Marital Status: Married <br> Spouse's Name: <br> Father's Name: Selah Arms. <br> Father's Birthplace: Vermont <br> Mother's Name: Marriett Etter <br> Mother's Birthplace: Vermont <br> <br>1900 -<br>Name: Ruthe Hastings <br>Age: 52 <br>Birth Date: Nov 1848 <br>Birthplace: Michigan <br>Home in 1900: Portland, Ionia, Michigan <br>Race: White <br>Gender: Female <br>Relation to Head of House: Wife <br>Marital Status: Married <br>Spouse's Name: Chas Hastings <br>Marriage Year: 1885 <br>Years Married: 15 <br>Father's Birthplace: Vermont <br>Mother's Birthplace: New York <br>Mother: number of living children: 0 <br>Mother: How many children: 0 <br><br> Chas Hastings 58, 4/42 OH - farmer<br> Ruthe Hastings 52, 3/48 MI - NO children <br> <br><br>Michigan, Deaths and Burials Index, 1867-1995 <br>Name: Ruth Hastings<br>[Ruth Arms.] <br>Birth Date: abt 1848 <br>Birth Place: Michigan <br>Death Date: 23 Jul 1904 <br>Death Place: Battle Creek, Calhoun, Michigan <br>Death Age: 56 <br>Occupation: Housekpr. <br>Race: White <br>Marital Status: Married <br>Gender: Female <br>Father Name: Selah Arms. <br>Father Birth Place: Vermont <br>Mother Name: Marriett Etter <br>Mother Birth Place: Vermont <br><br>Ruth does not appear on the 1880 MI. census<br><br> <br> <br>2014-02-26 14:16:00Zthomasker2http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2176.1/mb.ashxSanders / Grinnell / Beardsley Connectionhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2164/mb.ashx

There appear to be strong ties between the Beardsley and Grinnell families and I recently found information that ties into the family of Caroline and her husband, Henry, Saunders Reeder. I've not been able to find the parents of Caroline or confirm parents of Edith, who may be G. W. Saunders and Eliza Potins. The time frame for this family runs from the early 1840's to the early 1900's. Family members lived in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Montana.<br><br>Any suggestion or assistance is most appreciated.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. My 4th great grandfather, Jacob Dunn, died in North Plains, Ionia County in 1850. He is buried in the North Plains Cemetery. What I was wondering is if anyone might be able to tell me what churches would have been closest to North Plains in 1850 and where I might be able to find the records for those churches now so I can try and track down a Church Death Record. Generations later the family was Methodist, so that would be my first denomination to check, but the family may very well have been another denomination as well.

I can't find anything about him except his estate was in probate around 1900-1904. So he must have died in late 1800s or early 1900s. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this.

I have in my posession a letter dated 25 July 1931 from Bertha Brock that stated one of William's sons,L.L.Winslow (suspect that is Lenford L. Winslow) has extensive Winslow history.He lived in Saranac. As you may remember about a year ago we were discussing this family. I am descended from William's sister,Amanda b.1823 in NY., who married William Doty in 1840 in Ionia. Amanda and William were children of Ezra and unknown Winslow. Both stated in their census records that they were born in NY, no city stated. When Ezra came to Ionia in 1838 he was remarried to Sally (Shaw) Hosford.<br>Her son, George Hosford was b.in 1823 in NY(on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake). His Bio can be found in Schenck 1880. <br><br> I am still attempting to locate where William and Amanda Winslow were born,as well as who their mother was.<br><br> I am aware of the limitations found in census records along with death certs not being completely filled out.I am hopeful of any assistance in solving this brick wall.<br><br>Tom2014-02-11 14:07:26ZTomDoty45http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/2175.1.1/mb.ashxRe: CREER and KING married in Ionia Co.1891http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.ionia/1038.1.1.2.1.1/mb.ashx
